Upcoming Events

Science Saturdays at Southside is a fun, hands-on way for children ages 6-11 to explore exciting STEM concepts through experiments and activities.

Join us Wednesday afternoons for our Summer STEM Series! Each week we will explore a different element of science, technology, engineering, and math through play and experimentation. Ages 5-8.

Do you need help getting access to e-books, using online library resources, creating an email account, creating online documents, setting up your tablet, or safely browsing the internet?

Children aged 4 through tweens are invited to do fun (and MESSY!) STEAM activities. We are repeating some of the most popular STEAM activities this summer.
